In 1848, physician Robert Bentley Todd founded St. John's House to improve nursing in London's hospitals.[2] The Sisters of St. John oversaw the training of secular nurses for both King's College Hospital in London and for private district nursing.[3] According to historian Carol Helmstadter, Saint John's House's training of nurses was the first to be systematic and to provide trained nurses for hospitals.[2]
